About the Student Incubator

The Student Incubator is an incubator programme of the Smart Living Lab, established through the support of the Baloise Group. The programme offers both financial support and expert coaching to its participants in order to provide the best possible assistance for students aiming to turn their project ideas into reality.

The programme is available for all students (Bachelor, Master or PhD) studying at one of the Smart Living Lab’s partner institutions (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg and University of Fribourg). The main condition for participation in the programme is that the proposed project relates to at least one of the Smart Living Lab’s research areas: well-being and behaviors, interaction and design processes, energy systems and construction techniques.
